After you throw your trash away, place a dryer sheet at the bottom of the trash can and it will keep the odor away.
To prevent yourself and your hands from smelling of garlic, simply rub your hands against your stainless steel sink, and the smell will go away in a minute.
Pour a couple of cups of white vinegar into the toilet bowl and let stand for a few minutes. Scrub the bowl with toilet brush. Not only does vinegar kill germs, but it clean stains, etc. from the bowl. It's an easy and cheap cleaner -- and safe for the environment.
Pour about a cup of baking soda down the garbage disposal and regular drains, followed by a cup or two of vinegar. Let it "bubble" for a few minutes, then run hot water down the drains for a couple of minutes. This will not only make your drains smell better, but it will loosen up small clogs.
I'm on the road a lot, so I live out of my suitcase. I keep a roll of masking tape (wide) in my suitcase, so if I have any kind of lint from hotel dryers, human or dog hair, anything that clings to my clothing, I just pull off a long strip, stick to my garmet and pull off what ever it is sticking to my cloths. It's cheaper than those lint removers you buy from the stores. Keep a roll in your car, too! It comes in handy for other uses.
I live in rural SW Florida. Twice a year, we're plagued by these flying critters called "love bugs." During the months of May and October, these bugs make their debut. Travel ANY roadway, and your windshield becomes virtual bug soup! These pesky critters totally obliterate your visibility. I ALWAYS keep at least 1 Mega Roll of SCOTT Towels in my trunk along with a GOOD bug remover.
The tube from a SCOTT Towel roll fits well over the vacuum hose. Place it over the hose and pinch the end almost flat. Remove the dryer lint trap and vacuum the lint that you can't reach from behind the trap. A cleaner lint trap is a safer one!
Don't you hate when cooking oil drips down the bottle after each use, and you're left with a sticky, greasy residue on the bottle and shelf? You can easily avoid this by placing a folded SCOTT Towel around the bottom and then placing it in a plastic sandwich bag. To stop drips from the top, fold another SCOTT Towel and rubber band it around the cap. You'll appreciate the oil in your cooking and not everywhere else!!
